This problem has been going on for a few months getting progressively worse. At first the stereo would come on buy itself when the car was shut off. To keep from draining the battery too much I would manually shut the radio off. With this done the stereo would light up, but the audio remain off. Now, the stereo is automattically coming back on and switching to the auxilary setting on the stereo. Is it possible I caused a problem with the stereo and loosened something when I hooked up the auxilary cable? Is it possible the stereo fuse could be shorting out? Please advise what I can do to fix this problem by myself if possible.

This would cause overfuelling - and a sudden rise in RPM. The ECU will see this and compensate - by shutting the injectors down lower - , which then stalls the vehicle.
Sounds like your starter is not working,here's a link on how to remove,take to Autozone and they will test for free,takes only a few minutes.To check for power at starter,get meter and it should read 12 volts.

When the security light comes on, it means that the Antitheft system is most likely begining to fail. It will start very intermittently amd progressively get worse until it either shuts down the car, or your car will refuse to start when that light is on. This link explains
here is what u need to do, go to a local locksmith, hardware store or auto parts store and buy a tube of powdered Graphite lock cylinder lube, spray a little into the ignition lock cylinder and insert the key a few time, apply again and this should cure the problem, if it doesn't u will need to have the igntion lock cylinder replaced, do not use anything other then lock cylinder dry lubricant, WD40 or other oily lubes will make matter worse in the ong run.
Ok there oil presure plug that gets dirty next to the oil filter you can replace if oil presure ore just spray with some car spray see if that works. With stereo pull out buy cheep one see if does the same with the cheep unit could be head unit.
Well the same thing happened to me a few months back with the exact same car but what i noticed was when i was changing the spark plugs one of the HT leads had come off the spark plug so i fitted new spark plugs and re-fit the HT leads properly - Problem solved :D
